When all the others got off the train, they headed to the Burrow through the Floo Network, and landed in the living room with a thud and shouts of move out of the way. While Ron helped Luna out of the way of the fireplace, they watched and laughed as they saw the rest of the group come flying out of the fire floo. First came Draco and Pansy, then Neville and Ginny, and then came Dawn and Seamus, Dudley and Pavartti, Padma and Blaise, Fred, George, James, Lily, Remus, Sirius, Fleur and finally Bill. They all dusted themselves off, and then went to find Mr. and Mrs. Weasley in the kitchen waiting for them with dinner on the table

After dinner they were all sitting around the living room talking about what they were going to be doing this summer. They were talking about learning about different types of Quidditch moves, doing homework, having fun, swimming, going to the movies in the village of Ottery St. Catchpole They were also talking about what their other friends and family were doing at this time, and wondering if they were having a good time. Ginny said that they should send them a letter to them telling them that they made it home in good health, and having a good time, but still missing them. They all agreed and sent a letter out with Pig after the first week.

They got a letter back rather quickly, and were surprised by some of the news that they had received. The letter was addressed to all of them, and Ron sat down and addressed the assembled friends and family. "Well we just got a letter from Harry and Hermione letting us know how their summer was going so far, and since it is addressed to all of us, I thought that I would read it." Ron smiled and knew that there was a few things that he would leave out, and tell some of the friends, but not the adults later.

Dear Friends and Family:

"We have arrived at our destination quite nicely, and found that we are to be spending the summer at the Grangers Summer Estate, which is on 400 acres in the English Countryside." Ron leaves out the next part about them spending a couple of weeks alone, just supervised by a pregnant Tonks once or twice a week. "We are looking forward to seeing you all over Harry's birthday, we were thinking about inviting you all to the place for his birthday, and you all can see the lake and the countryside. We have met some nice Elves that have taken up residence in the forest on the land, and have become friends with their tribe. We also have all kind of magical creatures around the land, and you all will love coming and seeing it all. Hopefully you all can come and stay for the rest of the summer from Harry's birthday on, or at least stay for a couple of days."

All our love

Harry and Hermione

"Sounds like they are having fun, and it would be fun to check out the country side everyonce and a while." Ron said this and then looked at his older brother Charley with a questioning gaze.

Charley looked at his younger brother wondering what he was looking at, then remembered that Tonks was going to be doing, and it dawned on him that they hadn't told the family about Tonks's pregnancy yet. "Well I have an announcement everyone, Tonks and I are expecting Twins in about 2 months. Sorry we haven't told you before, but we were keeping it quiet from everyone." He looked sheepish at his family and smiled as they all cheered and congratulated him and Tonks. Tonks wasn't there, but Charley said he would let her know, and that she was off on a light assignment to help a friend. He knew that Harry and Hermione didn't want the family to worry about them being alone for two weeks pretty much, and he also knew from experience last summer, that they were responsible, and wouldn't do anything foolish. He also knew that just in case they decided to act on their feelings for each other, that they were prepared for it, and wouldn't end up in the same condition that he and his wife were in at this time.

Bill stood up and addressed the crowd also. "I know that Fleur and I have only been seeing each other since the beginning of the last school year, but we would like to announce our engagement." He bent down and kissed the beuatiful French girl and the family and friends congratulated them.

"Well well, it seems that we have a whole lot of stuff to celebrate this summer. This is good news all around. My wife and I congratulate the two couples in their happy announcements, and invite you all to stay up for all the time you want, and help us celebrate." Mr. Weasley said this, and conjured Butterbeers and brought out a bottle of Ogden's Firewhiskey for the adults. The drinks were passed around to those who wanted to join in, and there were cheers and congratulations all around.

The rest of the summer went quite well, with Swimming, Quidditch, Movies, and fun all around. They got their letters and found that they were going to be having an interesting year next year, and told their parents and or guardians about what they were going to be doing next year with the Junior AUROR trianing.
